His ideas and companies break up monopolistic industries and offer hope of improvement in the lives of all humanity.

The video is a fairly inspirational (classic TED Talk) with the best wisdom being shared that more people should study physics (more true words were never spoke IMHO). Elon was described by the interviewer as being able to: “Design + Technology + Business” and “Confidence to take risks”.
